The pharmaceutical industry is navigating uncertainty during turbulent times, with companies focusing on innovation and new partnerships to drive progress.The FDA has issued new radiopharma guidance, which former FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn believes is crucial for cancer therapy. Despite recent investments in radiopharmaceutical therapeutics by big pharma, the FDA's approval of updated COVID-19 vaccines with restrictions contradicts the medical freedom promised by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Rare diseases secured four FDA firsts in August, including a win for Novo Nordisk's glp-1 drug WeGovy. Investment in new ALS therapies signals progress after setbacks, with new biotechs and collaborative initiatives showing promise at Bio2025. Other news includes the closure of Appia, Senate summons of Kennedy, updates on COVID-19 vaccines, and Lilly's obesity pill heading to the FDA. Thank you for listening to Pharma and Biotech daily.

According to former college president Beverly Daniel Tatum, Trump's war on university admissions is deeply hypocritical. On the one hand, she argues, his attack on affirmative action admissions policy is made in the populist language of “anti-woke” egalitarianism; but on the other, wealthy families are already gaming college admissions through clever manipulation of the system. A Harvard study revealed that athletes, legacies, donors' children, and faculty offspring—categories overwhelmingly benefiting affluent white families—receive admission advantages far exceeding any diversity program. Yet while demanding universities abandon "racial proxies," Trump's administration simultaneously insists on counting student demographics, exposing the contradiction in claims of colorblind meritocracy.Tatum's new book, Peril and Promise: College Leadership in Turbulent Times, draws from her extensive experience as President of both Mount Holyoke College and Spelman College. Tatum discussed her controversial decision to eliminate NCAA sports at Spelman, redirecting resources toward wellness programs for all students rather than competitive athletics for a few. She also addressed the broader challenges facing higher education, from AI's potential to transform teaching and reduce costs to the ongoing mental health crisis on campuses, presenting herself as both a trustworthy insider and experienced observer of college education in our unusually turbulent times. Even opponents of affirmative action might learn something from the wise Dr Tatum.* The Real Admissions Advantage Goes to Wealth, Not Race - A Harvard study shows that "ALDCs" (Athletes, Legacies, Donors' children, faculty Children) receive far greater admissions boosts than any affirmative action program ever provided, with these categories disproportionately benefiting affluent white families.* Trump's "Colorblind" Approach Is Contradictory - While demanding universities stop using "racial proxies" and claiming to want merit-based admissions, the administration simultaneously insists on counting and tracking student demographics by race.* 2025 Is Uniquely Turbulent for Higher Education - Tatum, who lived through the Vietnam era and other crisis periods, believes the current government intervention in university operations represents the most intense challenge to academic freedom she's experienced in decades.* College Sports Often Drain Resources from Student Wellness - Tatum eliminated NCAA sports at Spelman College, redirecting funds toward fitness and wellness programs that benefit all students rather than the small percentage who compete, especially given data showing young Black women's sedentary lifestyles.* AI Will Transform College Costs and Teaching - While startup costs for AI implementation are significant, early experiments show promise for reducing expenses and improving learning outcomes, such as AI tutors available 24/7 that outperformed traditional teaching methods in physics classes.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Tom Bilyeu delivers a powerful deep dive into the warning signs of societal collapse that are blinking red across America. He draws on lessons from history—citing the downfalls of the Roman Empire, the USSR, Argentina, and more—to show how debt spirals, the hollowing out of the middle class, collapsing trust, and rising populism are patterns we've seen before, and are seeing again right now. Tom breaks down why these cycles are so hard to interrupt, why common solutions like socialism and “just grow the economy” fall short, and most importantly, he lays out a practical playbook for not just surviving, but thriving during chaotic times. From protecting yourself with assets and skills, to finding business-friendly environments, Tom gets specific about what you can do to come out stronger on the other side—because every collapse hurts most, but creates unprecedented opportunity for a prepared few. If you care about your future, and the future of the country, this is an urgent and actionable listen.

This week Nick talks to Lionel Barber.Lionel Barber is a distinguished British journalist best known for his tenure as Editor of the Financial Times from 2005 to 2020, during which he spearheaded its transformation into a globally respected, digital-first news organisation. A graduate of St Edmund Hall, Oxford, he began his career at The Scotsman before moving to The Sunday Times and then joining the FT in 1985, where he held senior roles including Washington correspondent, Brussels bureau chief, news editor, and U.S. managing editor. As editor, he conducted landmark interviews with world leaders such as Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, and Angela Merkel. Barber is the author of The Powerful and the Damned: Private Diaries in Turbulent Times and his latest book Gambling Man: The Wild Ride of Japan's Masayoshi Son, and has been recognised with honours including the Légion d'Honneur, the Stella d'Italia, and the Gerald Loeb Lifetime Achievement Award. He currently serves on several boards, lectures globally on media and geopolitics, and co-hosts the Media Confidential podcast with Alan Rusbridger. Nick and Lionel discuss, Lionel's journey from a newspaper-loving household in Leeds to leading one of the world's most influential publications. Inspired by his journalist father, Barber started his career at The Scotsman and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually serving as foreign correspondent in Washington and Brussels before becoming FT editor in 2005. He shares highlights from his tenure, including interviews with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and his leadership during the paper's digital transformation. Barber also discusses his latest book, Gambling Man, a biography of Masayoshi Son, the Korean-Japanese entrepreneur behind SoftBank. The book charts Son's remarkable rise from growing up in a marginalised slum to building one of the world's largest investment funds. Barber portrays Son as both a visionary and a calculated risk-taker, whose bold investments in Yahoo, Alibaba, and ARM shaped modern tech finance. He also delves into Son's failures, such as the WeWork debacle, and his ability to bounce back with ambitious plans in AI and global innovation, while still regarded with suspicion by Japan's establishment.Lionel's book choice was:Present at the creation Dean AchesonLionel Music choice was:Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111 by Ludwig van BeethovenFollow Lionel on his Substack and his podcast - Media Confidential.This content is issued by Zeus Capital Limited (“Zeus”) (Incorporated in England & Wales No. 4417845), which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for designated investment business, (Reg No. 224621) and is a member firm of the London Stock Exchange.

EP #329 - The Egoless Revolution, an interview with visionary author, Cynthia Rivard I'm truly grateful to welcome visionary author Cynthia Rivard to Empowering Chats. Her latest book, Hope for a New Era – Turning the Tide: Love & Leadership through Turbulent Times, is both timely and transformational. She has a powerful quote at the beginning of her book that reads: “When we discover the beauty of new perspectives, our world opens up—we develop more compassion and experience more peace and love.” Cynthia defines hope as faith in action. She emphasizes the importance of trusting deeply—and then taking meaningful steps. Through action, we create both hope and empowerment. She speaks of spiritual awakening as the intentional development of inner knowing—allowing yourself to be guided by the divinity within. She reminds us: Now is our time. We must co-create a better world, act as responsible stewards of the planet, and rise to the moment with courage. Cynthia acknowledges how overwhelming it can feel—there's so much that needs rebuilding, and it's easy to get stuck. Her advice: Tap into your divine wisdom and take one step at a time. She goes on to say, "Your impact doesn't have to be global—what matters is what you can do within your sphere of influence . . . acts rooted in love and joy ripple outward." She calls for unity of purpose, asking us to set aside ego and judgment to create real solutions. True progress, she says, requires diverse perspectives. “If we all think alike, we stay stuck. Change is constant, but we must guide it—not passively let it happen to us.” We both agree that understanding builds compassion—and compassion is what moves the world forward.

Too many leaders miss the opportunity to have impact when it truly matters: the transformation that takes place when someone feels genuinely heard. This is especially important during turbulent times. It's not just about reacting to a crisis, it's about pausing for a moment to listen deeply. Without it, leaders risk isolation, poor decisions, and missed opportunities.   Martin Farrell, crisis coach and bestselling author of “Good Leaders in Turbulent Times: How to Navigate Wild Waters at Work,” reveals how listening becomes a lifejacket for leaders navigating chaos. Drawing on decades of global experience with organizations like the British Red Cross and UN Climate Change Secretariat, Martin shares the pivotal moments and practical strategies that help leaders spot early warning signs, create safe spaces for tough conversations, and transform crisis into connection and growth.   In this episode, discover the story behind the ‘penny drop' moment, when someone knows they're truly understood. Martin gives insight on subtle warning signs before a crisis occurs and also shares excerpts from 138  pieces of his advice in his book. Learn how mastering listening in turbulent times can turn wild waters into opportunities for lasting impact.   "Do we want to react and retaliate, or do you reflect and respond?" – Martin Farrell   SUPERPOWER Notes: 02:45 – What he realized the time he first noticed the power of listening: Working with coach Nancy Klein for 14 years, where she would listen for an hour and a half with complete presence, even during his silent moments and times of distress 06:30 – The transformative experience of being truly heard: How Nancy Klein's listening created a space where he felt special and important in that moment, demonstrating the profound impact of dedicated attention 08:15 – Supporting leaders in crisis: His work with UK charity chief executives who were at risk of losing their jobs, providing support "until the end of the chapter" through primarily listening rather than advice-giving 11:20 – The power of being present in wild waters: Using the metaphor of someone in wild waters with crocodiles around, and how having someone experienced nearby who won't drown provides crucial support 14:30 – From crisis support to storytelling: How his current work involves interviewing people who've processed their experiences to create anonymous advice for others still in crisis 17:45 – The journey of writing "Good Leaders in Turbulent Times": How the book took eight years to complete with six different manuscripts, and the importance of authentic vulnerability in helping others 22:10 – Career background in civil society: Six decades of working in charitable organizations, from teenage years through international work with UN agencies and climate change initiatives 26:40 – The book's unique structure: Five chapters featuring nine characters over seven years, showing the progression from missing warning signs to integration and wisdom 29:15 – Chapter one - missing the signs: How all the warning signs were present but the characters weren't listening to or acting upon them, using the powerful question "What do you know now that you will discover in a year's time?" 32:50 – Listening to weak signals: The importance of becoming adept at noticing and paying attention to early warning signs before they become crises 35:20 – The 138 pieces of advice: Four categories throughout the book - watch out (red flags), remember this (truths to hold onto), consider this (suggestions for action), and secret sauce (personal stories) 38:45 – Theory U and letting go/letting come: How silence and stillness are essential for touching the source of inner knowledge and emerging possibilities 42:30 – Practical advice for listening to inner signals: Go sit by a river or in a quiet place, use scrap paper for uncensored writing, and allow the process to unfold over 8-9 pages until clarity emerges 46:15 – The "no mud, no lotus" principle: How working with distress and discomfort can produce beautiful outcomes when you know how to process them effectively 48:20 – Developing your support network: The importance of having trusted people around you before crisis hits, and Martin's participation in seven different support groups 51:30 – Live Well, Die Wise grief circles: Creating ceremonial safe spaces with candles, poems, and intentional grounding to allow deep sharing and discovery 53:45 – How to connect with Martin Farrell Key Takeaways:    "My ultimate freedom is to respond to whatever you do to me." – Martin Farrell "Here is someone who had no agenda other than being with them and listening. And that was powerful." – Martin Farrell "Even if you're not naturally interested in other people, you can fake it till you make it. Start being interested, and then you get more interested." – Martin Farrell "Particularly with those who are in distress, that is an enormous gift... I noticed the power of being there. I was going to say just being there, but it's not just, it's being there and being present." – Martin Farrell Notes/Mentions: Nancy Klein (Martin's coach for 14 years)- https://www.timetothink.com/  Theory U and Otto Scharmer's Presencing Institute https://www.presencing.org/theoryu  "Good Leaders in Turbulent Times: How to Navigate Wild Waters at Work" by Martin Farrell: https://mybook.to/GoodLeaders and https://practicalinspiration.com/book/good-leaders-in-turbulent-times Live Well, Die Wise grief circles Deep Adaptation Forum Steven Appleby (illustrator of 41 drawings in the book) Connect with Martin Farrell: Website: https://www.martinfarrell.org/  Substack: https://martin228.substack.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martingfarrell  Connect with Raquel Ark: www.listeningalchemy.com  Mobile: + 491732340722  contact@listeningalchemy.com LinkedIn Substack listening ALCHEMY newsletter Podcast email: listeningsuperpower@gmail.com

Yascha Mounk and Irshad Manji also discuss how to have dialogue with ideological opponents. Irshad Manji is the founder of Moral Courage College, which equips people worldwide to turn heated issues into healthy conversations and sustained teamwork. Her latest book is Don't Label Me: How to Do Diversity Without Inflaming the Culture Wars. In this week's episode, Yascha Mounk and Irshad Manji discuss how it feels to become a U.S. citizen during turbulent times, how to have conversations about controversial topics without being canceled, and how to resist the temptation of being right about everything. Polarization is at an all-time high. It can feel daunting—perhaps even misguided—to engage in meaningful dialogue with those holding starkly different views.

Energetic Health Institute Radio with Dr. H – We are being asked to defer our demands for radical change while our leaders perform a bait and switch before our very eyes. We are realizing it is no longer enough to sit back and rely on the power of government to follow through on its promises. It is now time to act, raise our voices, and let our demands be known. Our true power exists deep within and is...

Nearly 150 days into President Trump's second term, the outlook for wind energy in the United States - particularly offshore wind - is increasingly bleak. Trump had pledged to end offshore wind development, and now the House Ways and Means Committee is proposing a phase-out of tax credits for renewables by 2031 - a move that would severely impact an already struggling wind sector (over on our sister podcast Energy Gang, we discuss the bill and what it means for renewables – check out that episode once you're finished here).Only three offshore wind projects have come online in US waters, with 4 GW currently under construction. In 2024, total wind installations reached a ten-year low at just 5.2 GW. By contrast, Europe has surged ahead, having built 35 GW of offshore wind capacity - ten times the US total – emphasising the stark differences in policy and financing frameworks.Still, there are glimmers of hope: President Trump recently lifted a stop-work order on a $5 billion offshore wind farm off the coast of New York, following lobbying from Governor Kathy Hochul. The project, led by Norwegian company Equinor, is expected to power 500,000 homes by 2027. However, with developer confidence sinking, experts warn that the stop-start nature of US policy continues to undermine long-term momentum in the sector. To forecast the next few years for wind in the US, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez – principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie – is joined by analyst Stephen Maldonado. They explore the policy and technology that's holding back deployment of offshore wind in the US.Plus, looking across the Atlantic to Europe, Sylvia talks to WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson, about the financing frameworks for wind in Europe.Sylvia, Stephen and Giles talk through the lessons for developers and financers: with uncertainty around tax credits and shifting policies, there may be a shift in resources to more advanced projects, putting early-stage ones on hold. Repowering old wind turbines is an option too; Giles explains how. And making use of domestic supply chain strengths is key – compared to solar, wind has more domestic supply chain support.Follow the show wherever you're listening to it now, and tell us what you think, we're on X and Bluesky @interchangeshowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
